Interestingly, his younger brother, Ollie Hollands has been a first year revelation as a winger for Carlton. Shorter and much thinner than Elijah but Ollie is a real competitor, may not look it but is tough as nails, not afraid of contests and will run all day.

Ollie has had a good debut year for sure. Very different type of player as a hard running wirey winger. He was always seen as the less talented of the two, but he’s shown a competitive nature that Elijah hasn’t. Perhaps a fresh environment for Elijah could unlock that…

    Would love to get this kid, but not paying a lot for him.  Think he would be a great mid/fwd under the correct coaching.

    I think it could be and after thought after we are done trading for picks, although could be involved in us trying to get pick 4 of GC.

    If he was any good Gold Coast would keep him. 
     

    When I followed his draft he had figjam written all over him. 

    Another kid with a lot of tattoos ????

    Would be interested if it were a late mid to late third round pick. A 21-year old who went pick 7 and can’t break into the Suns side should be met with caution. 

    Why ET better than a pick 47 who can't make it. He may never have the skills. History might show a No 7 has some very good attributes but for various reasons isn't comfortable in the environment. He may be squeezed out with the midfielders "club" of say Rowell Anderson Miller etc. for example we don't know.

     

    There  is no right or wrong with recruiting unless some issues arise from history and are not changeable. We have shown we are a very good Club with a great culture and taking a chance on a talented youngster who May have an ego is hardly like a much injured player with a fitness issue. Both are solvable and we can't have too many "problem child's" I agree.

    if he fits a need on our list ( not sure of his physique or body details) but he started off kicking goals from half forward I seem to recall. He may be happier here in Melbourne with his brother and possibly his family.

    A player is not a No 7 for nothing so keep an open mind and it's up to JT and Lambie to check out I say.

    I feel like the sun's are going to have a tough time getting the "right price" for a top 10 pick after giving away a top 10 pick in Bowes and a first rounder for a half eaten dim sim last year.

    I'd the suns hold him another year and he doesn't crack the team, he's going to cost as almost nothing at the trade table. 

    He could be on the move for less than the right price.

    Not to mention longterm setting a precedent with trading out the likes of Peter Wright and Will Brodie for pocket fluff.

    Pass. Has struggled to break into a poor team and then not really shown anything to excite at AFL level when he played. Much better options out there for midfield and flank depth.

    Flanders I would be keen on however.

    To be fair, Flanders also struggled to break into the same team, when he got in he went BANG though haha

    I think Jason Taylor and the MFC recruiting team would have the best knowledge on Elijah Hollands. Did he Dominate any games for Gold Coast at VFL level?

    Some players just need a 2nd chance at a new AFL Club to thrive.

    Whether it is at the Melbourne Demons or another AFL Club we shall have to wait and see. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
